Never sold anything. Well I did build a swing bed that I sold after we had it for many years.

The design is the easy part for me though, honestly.

Something like this with thicker pillars and a higher headboard

Hardest part on that would be turning the legs. The headboard is a glued up panel that’s attached by mortise and tenon joints.

Bunch of stuff. Tables, console table, swing bed, redid some cabinets in the kitchen and the ventahood, built a huge cabinet in the kids play room.

ETA: basically my wife shows me stuff in magazines and stuff and ask if I can do that.

Just the king size in the pic

On that pic you posted, you would need to turn the legs in a few sections to get the height you want. That one really wouldn't be too hard.

I think New Yankee workshop actually built one very similar, FYI

Finished it last night just in time for the weekend. Now I just have to save up for a sack of crawfish.

Got most of the parts/material from scrap and old demo equipment we were throwing away at work. I felt like Johnny Cash when he built that Cadillac one piece at a time, waiting for all the parts I needed to finish it.







ETA: If y'all don't hear from me for a while, just know I went out with a bang.

Nice blue heeler. My daughter has one and he is a gorgeous dog. He's an a-hole though.

Me, been floating out sheetrock. Nothing worse then doing that. Hope to rap it up this weekend. Dang weather with all this rain has been a bad time to do this. Even with a couple fans, it taking a long to for the mud to dry.

Had a motorized pirogue at one time. Also built a couple Laffite Skiffs. One was 27' and another was 32'. That count?
